#259 David Ackles – American Gothic

Posted on by anoceanroars

I have never heard of David Ackles, but I am not alone because chances are you have not heard of him either. His album American Gothic was a failure. If you listen to it you will understand why. It is strange. Maybe the gayest thing ever. It sounds like Neil Diamond and Lawrence Welk’s love child.

I am not sure why this is loved by many artistic people. I guess it is a step into the baroque pop arena, which is more popular now, I am unsure how I feel about it. It is interesting and weird at the same time, I especially like how he sings about Jesus soo dramatically

I am putting a pin in this album for now. It needs to be listened to again. For now, after listening to it twice, I have to move on so I will score it one first impressions and secondly confusion. 6/10.

…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).
